    Dude said he tried to flag down police about shooter in position on roof for 2-3 minutes but the cops seemed confused.

    99% chance it’s a male with a history of mental health issues and access to a gun.

    Yup.

    Something I've been low key holding my breath over for a long time.

    This is an awful awful turn of events in so many ways.

    I just hope the worst that comes out of this is 4 years of Trump. Thats the best we can hope for at the moment.

    There's no place for this. So tragic. So dumb. So awful. F-bomb

    Trump is a lock to win now. That’s baseline.

    TMZ.. LoL


    Seems like an odd angle for flying glass.
    Video shows Trump turning to his right just before the shot was fired and the promoter is forward of him.

    I’ll mention again, we’ll need to see details, but SS might have really let down the country. They are suppose to be the best of the best and not cut corners. Especially with the political strife we have now.

    It is fascinating to watch the entire video. Trump saying let me get my shoes. Then not going straight to the car.

    Indeed sir. In a land of almost 400 mil people, we should expect at least a dozen of any kind of person imaginable, but it still feels like a national gut punch.

    And in the post shots video the promoter isn’t broken.

    Tone it down. This is not the time to blame Left or Right. Blame the shooter.

    I understand the Maga world is going to spike the football, I just hope the level headed amongst us understand this wasn't desired by the rational masses of either side.

    So we can further incite the lunatics or we can try to be cool and avoid widespread violence.

    People really need to realize the gravity of the next few days, weeks, months.

    Why was that vantage point so easily accessed? Why didn’t the cops respond faster?

    It’s the shooters fault and the ss responded quickly but seems maybe lapses in security occurred.
